Behind the Scenes

Sometimes it's easier to explain how to do something right by showing how it shouldn't be done. That's why Robert Half created the Don't Let This Happen to You video series. With these videos, you can see the types of mistakes that could derail your job search or career progression – literally.

In addition, this site includes resources to help job seekers put their best foot forward. And we've collected materials hiring managers can use to find the right hire.

The Don't Let This Happen to You video series also allows us to give up-and-coming filmmakers a chance to display their talents. All of the videos in the series were created with Tongal, a video crowdsourcing community. Tongal approaches crowdsourcing as a contest, where writers, video producers and other creative professionals compete to produce the best videos. Winners are rewarded with a cash prize.
